This example reflects the food chain.
<span>The food chain describes relationships among the organisms by showing how the organisms are related to each other by the food they eat. The food chain contains levels and each of them presents a different trophic level (position of the organism in that chain). There is reliable energy transfer through each stage of the chain. Not all the energy at one stage is absorbed by the organism at the next stage but, the amount of energy from one stage to another decreases.</span>
Answer:
Carrying capacity for the jellyfish would reduce
Explanation:
Carrying capacity of a biological population in an ecosystem is the maximum number of population size the environment or habitat can conveniently cater for given the available resources such as, food, water supply, space etc.
The survival of the jelly fish largely in the small body of water would be largely dependent on how much food that is available.
The large number of mollusks harvested would reduce the available food in the small body of water, hence, reducing the carrying capacity for jellyfish.
Answer: C. Ii & III are correct
II. reduced intracellular ATP.
III. apoptosis or necrosis.
Explanation:
Cytochrome c oxidase controls the last step of food oxidation. Cytochrome c oxidase is an enzyme responsible for electron transfer in the electron transport chain (ETC), it inhibit in slowing down or stopping the ETC.
Consequently, ATP production would be gradually reduced, as the ETC is responsible for the majority of ATP production. This shows option II is correct.
The question starts by stating that cyanide is highly toxic, so this match up with the fact that a large dose would also cause cell death (apoptosis or necrosis). Therefore, option III is also accurate.
Option I: Inhibiting the ETC is consequential as it reduces oxygen demand because electrons would not flow to oxygen, the final electron acceptor.
The question is <u>incomplete,</u> options are given below:
A. A tropical area with moderate rainfall
B. A temperate forest
C. A steep slope
D. A river delta
Answer:
<em>C.</em><em> A steep slope</em>
Explanation:
Erosion is a <u>weathering process</u> that causes removal of the top layer of sediments from any geological material (rock, plain area, etc) and then transports that material to another place. This process is governed by the combined action of wind, water (precipitation), gravity, and other meteorological parameters.
For this question, four options are given among which rate of erosion would be faster than the rate of soil formation for a steep slope. For a steep slope, the movement of water and wind would be stronger along with high gravitational pull as compared to the tropical area, river delta, and temperate forest. In principle, in the temperate forest, the erosion would be lowest due to the presence of plant roots that support the soil material to stay aggregated and resist against weathering.
